Exporting well data from IHS Kingdom in a format that plays nice with ArcGIS

A coworker of mine has a bunch of well data (including georeferencing and attribute tables) in IHS Kingdom. We need to convert this data into a format that works with ArcGIS (e.g. .shp files). Unfortunately, it looks like the only options for exporting are as follows:

.wtv2 - Tobin Well

.asc - Landmark Well 2.x/3.x .asc - Landmark Well OWX

.wel - Charisma

.gds - GDSII

.dat - Well Production Data

As far as I can tell, none of these are compatible, and each of them are extremely poorly documented online. As is Kingdom IHS, for that matter.

The only solution we've managed so far would be to export the map as a large PDF before georectifying and manually digitizing each of the wells in ArcGIS. However, there are too many wells to make this a viable option.
